10 gold for 1 hit dice = 50 gold

No. I wish it well, but I don't feel the need to buy books I already have. I prefer SWD to SWADE, and I have a bunch of SWD material.

Did you back the new solomon kane? I backed it.

I’ve received this game book in the last week and have found reading the rules in conjunction with your videos really helps. Thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you for an excellent & informative review of FORGE. Very interesting… 🤔 From what you were saying, I wasn’t quite sure whether there is a “smaller” & “larger” version of the book… & if so, whether the amount of content varies, or just the size of the book. You also pointed out how small the text is in the version that you were reviewing & that would **definitely** be an issue for me as my eyesight isn’t what it used to be & - even with reading glasses - such a small point size font would probably be too much of a struggle, so I’m hoping that there’s a “larger” book that’s also printed with larger text. Do you know if that’s the case? Many Thanks. 🙏

Just found Forge and your solo play. Very cool. I find it interesting how I was coming up with a completely different setup here as I thought of roll results. In my thought experiment the Elementalist focused on lightning and the garden was an herb garden. You mentioned necromancy, so my mind jumped to a Dr Frankenstein vibe. Using herbs injected I to the dead and zapping them by calling lightning. Very cool, thanks for doing this.

You should try owlbear Rodeo it is like roll 20 but easier

Have enjoyed watching these primarily because I am interested in playing a solo adventure but can never find my rhythm and have problems knowing how to move it on etc.

Those were some darn good repaints!

4:08 it's hard to suspend disbelief for mechanical dungeon traps true. I think 'traps' of a supernatural origin or magical nature are quite a bit better

what I could see doing with this system: you use it to generate your own adventure, NPCs, and world; then you could actually run that adventure for a group later (with some alterations of course)

damn. those are some nice battlemats and dungeon pieces

Alisha really came out on top as the protagonist in hindsight

Boy that was dark 😂

It keeps getting better lol

I love this series, awesome job

I really loved this episode. And laughed so much. Your acting skills are great.

I really enjoyed the drama with the surgeon 😂

By the way I like the idea to introduce a level of difficulty for each hex beyond weapon range. Pistols with range 4 are not exactly realistic to begin with, but exploding enemies have range 6. How does that go together. Your idea kind fixes that and I will use it for sure.

I‘m wondering how exactly you created creatures that could not harm you, nor could they be harmed by you. I have not seen that yet.

I love FORGE for solo play. I am using it with Shadowdark and it's been the best solo GM tool I've found so far. Glad to find someone streaming playthroughs with it. Also use it with Whitebox RPG.

it's unfortunate that the campaign has ended so soon, it feels like there is so much more of that world to explore, plus the unresolved plotline of pendry vs the architect. It was still enjoyable to watch.

Have the cleric throw some garlic in the room with the giant snails followed by a fireball. Escargot for everybody!

One thing I do on the d66 tables is that if the original roll doesn't quite make sense I'll reverse it and check that result to see if it's any more narratively connected. So on a roll of 25 when you got a DEER result, I'd look at roll 52 and see what that is. In this case, the roll of 52 would have resulted in SCORPION, which may or may not be a better result.

Nice review...have ordered from DTRPG as an introduction for my beginners to Chaosium's BRP system. Thank you. Helen and Katarin Juska-Law (Eastern England Fenlands)

Im confused by the rules for Known Threats. The book says that those only appear as a result of an Activity Check, which happens when the time track resets. Ok. However the rules for determining area connector types include a 20% chance of generating an ambush for hallways. Are those Known Threats too? I think they must be as they are ambushes and ambushes are only ever Known Threats, right?

I am about to start my own solo game using the FORGE so this is a perfect find! I had stumbled upon your review of it a few months back, but I am now excited to see it in action!

Damn, I watched/listened through the entire thing througout the day while painting minis and it was a blast, often i had to stop and just listen because ... wow XD I watched Several groups play the Alien RPG but they honestly never got the horror down as well as you did alone and with just a human gone bonkers. Thanks !

I also had these on my shelf for years. After watching your review I started using them for some solo campaigns. Now I feel sorry for not having used the earlier. This is a perfect all-in-one ruleset for a solo-RPGists. You mentioned the relationship to genrediversion so I was curious and had a look at that too. Couldn't find much on YT. What a pity. GD are great RPG rules and I am surprised that they are mostly unknown to the RPG society. I would love to see a review on genrediversion from PIG games. Thank you for your content. I appreciate this highly. Greetings from Switzerland.

Excellent and thorough review!

Thank you for the introduction to this! It looks pretty cool, and I may have to pick it up. Looks like my wheelhouse.

This is so freaking cool! Thank you for this epic cinematic story!

Just checking this out after watching your Hostile solo review :-) excited to see how it goes :-)

I love this game I found it by accident ages ago when it still had the backerkit up and OMG it is brilliant! I became an instent fan of Alex and have backed almost everythign he has done since ha

Can I ask would you rather tell a solo player who likes alot of depth to pick up this and the setting book or the Hostile Rules and core setting and add your own stuff in for soloving problems? Also how well do the other supplements work into the the Hostile Solo? Thanks again :-)

This is such a joy to watch. 😊

I am with you on some crunch. I want mechanics that create narrative. That seems like a Holy Grail.

Nice. Thanks for doing this. This is inspiring. I have this game and I also started a small solo game. I am however very new into solo RPG so I am glad to find some meat on the bones here. I hope the story continues soon!!

I am confused about one thing with the encounters section of the book. The part right after it talks about the Guardians and how they can be hacked, on page 291. There are 4 Guardians named Titan, Anasi, Arash, and Brahmari. When am I supposed to use these? I was thinking that its supposed to be that those 4 guardians are the only ones because humans have catalogued them all. But guardians are one of the available types when generating your own creature for an encounter.

Really enjoying the series. I just picked up thgr hostile mega bundle so its cool to see how it works in real time.

Thanks for the video, everything was very nicely explained! I'm now confident you're going to like the changes I'm making to the game for the upcoming expansion!

Admonished.

Thanks for the video!

Excellent video, thanks for showcasing the different possibilities and results! Just a note: when you determine the number of encounters based on Site size, it's literally the number it says. So in your case with the Medium size you would have a maximum of 6. The reason for this is that you must always roll a D6 for the Encounter table (the one you slowly fill up) when in a medium sized Site.

Thanks so much for the detailed review! And you're totally right, the game needs a more detailed Table of Contents and an Index. We had huge problems with the game's graphic designer (which delayed the whole thing for a year) and among other things, he didn't really make a proper ToC or reference tables. I've learned my lesson for the future, though. I agree with the Knocked Down mechanic being a bit annoying after a while, which is why I'm removing it in the upcoming expansion and tweaked a few other things as a consequence. It works much better now. Same as escaping combat: in order to escape, you must reach the side opposite to the one you entered in. I'm glad I seem to have identified the correct issues, at least according to your review!

Half way through and really enjoying. Been wanting to get into traveller or something similar for a while and when I discovered the Hostile setting it just seemed to be more in line with what I liked in Science Fiction. I think Ill be getting this game and maybe the core rules too.

The setting sounds vaguely like Fred Pohl's HeeChee series.

I'm loving these settings you've made for TTT. Thanks!

Purchased! Looks great. 🎉
